Summary note:

The documentary 'Hope against Hopeless' deals with the causes that provoke the refugee "'Waves' and the trespass of Human Rights. It aims to shed light at the illegal movement of economical immigrants and refugees from Syria to Turkey and later on into Cyprus. Shocking images of immigrants at the borders of Syria and Iraq oscillate between hope and hopelessness. The political position of Turkey, the position of the International Amnesty and the never ending struggle of people striving for a better quality of life are some of the major issues touched by this documentary.
